The Enneagram can be a window into understanding the triggers and difficult behaviors of others, as well as how you may be projecting your own shadow onto someone else.
Beatrice Chestnut – Own the Shadow of Your Enneagram Personality Type
Delve deep into the shadow sides of your Enneagram type, unveiling the mysteries of who you are and gaining a roadmap to living a more harmonious, fulfilling, soul-led life — even in these difficult times.
The Enneagram’s ancient wisdom gives us a map for human purpose and possibility… and lays out a modern-day, personalized path to wholeness for each of us.
While this tool for transformation illuminates our gifts and provides a framework for our personal and spiritual evolution, it also reveals how we’re often held back by the shadow side of our personality — our own deeply rooted, unconscious patterns that are hard for us to see.
These hidden parts can be so difficult to observe in ourselves that, without even meaning to, we resist even acknowledging these patterns… these blocks that we must transform to support our highest good.
And right now, as many of us are facing an unexpected shutdown of our normal activities… we can choose to use this time to dig deep into understanding our Enneagram type and the emotional patterns that have structured (and often restricted) our lives for so long.
Join Enneagram teacher, psychotherapist, and author Beatrice Chestnut as she guides you to clearly observe and embrace your whole self — including the shadow side — through the lens of the Enneagram.
You’ll break through denial and other defenses that prevent you from seeing what’s happening at a deeper level, both within you and around you.
One of the most authoritative voices and thought leaders in the Enneagram movement for the last 30 years, Beatrice first learned about the system from pioneering Enneagram expert David Daniels, MD.
Beatrice is beloved by her students for walking her talk — and she’s used the Enneagram as a lifelong tool for expanding her own inner work… firmly believing in its power to raise global consciousness and create a more positive, sustainable, and self-aware world.
She’ll show you how to use the Enneagram as your guide to access a deeper, more compassionate understanding of yourself and those around you — as you uncover the inner resilience to make the very best of your life.
The Enneagram can be a window into understanding the triggers and difficult behaviors of others, as well as how you may be projecting your own shadow onto someone else.
Its insights can shed light on what may be preventing you from living harmoniously with your loved ones, especially while sheltering in place.
You’ll cultivate a deeper sense of compassion for those around you — and for yourself.
With Beatrice as your guide, you’ll fully observe who you truly are, embrace your fears and disowned shadow side — and become empowered to create healthy, stable, loving relationships as you reach your own highest potential.
During this illuminating 7-part course, you’ll discover:
- How becoming aware of your shadow aspects helps you develop enhanced self-awareness and wholeness
- The blind spots of each Enneagram type — including the shadows that remain unconscious in these types and why they develop their particular blind spots
- The consequences of staying blind to parts of the self
- Specific emotions each type avoids, often without realizing it
- How each type can make their specific unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotions more conscious
- Positive changes that happen when each type integrates their blind spots — and ways healing practitioners can support them

- The role of facing the shadow within the archetypal hero’s journey of transformation
- Examples of shadow integration found in myths, stories, and fairy tales

In this opening session, Beatrice will share the definition of the shadow — and explain how becoming aware of your shadow aspects helps you develop enhanced self-awareness and wholeness.
